    Scientists have reported an in-depth study of the effects of extreme wetting on the antibacterial efficiency of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-based coatings.
    over the past few decades, research into antibacterial surface coatings has increased significantly as an alternative to bacterial infections. Although there are several examples of effective strategies to prevent bacterial adhesion, the effects of wetting properties on coatings are rarely considered a key factor

    .
    scientists now report an in-depth study of the effects of extreme wetting on the antibacterial efficiency of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-based coatings. By controlling the surface polymerization and post-functioning of mussel-type twig-like polyglycelor (MI-dPG), a wetting surface with a wetting properties from ultra-hydrophobic to ultra-hydrophobic is prepared. AgNP is then embedded in the coating by using the free child tea phenol portion present in the MI-dPG coating for in-place reduction.
    excellent antibacterial ability
    the resulting polymer coating demonstrates excellent antibacterial properties against E. coli (E.coli) DH5 alpha and Staphylococcus Alois (Staphylococcus acobacteria) SH1000. The antibacterial efficiency of the coating was analyzed by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometography (ICP-MS) and bacterial vitality testing. In addition, the anti-fouling properties of the coating associated with antibacterial properties were evaluated.
